ReFriendz.com - spamtastic marketing

Refriendz.com seems to be one of the run-of-the-mill MySpace clones, but it has an incredibly annoying marketing strategy; you give it email addresses when you sign up (I assume through allowing it to inspect your Facebook or gmail or something) and it sends all of your friends invitations.

So far, so ordinary; classic spammy Web 2.0 technique. Where it gets good is that it then sends you a reminder that your invitation is about to expire.
